I was blown away by the food here. Loved it. So many dishes and flavours that I have not tasted since we were in Vietnam about 4 years ago. I could not say enough about the service of the staff also. It is a place that I would normally have got a babysitter so my wife and myself could have a Kids-free night but we did have to take the boys (2.5 and 17 months) when we visted and the staff could not have helped us more. We had the banquet which was made up of about 4 entrees and 4 mains. Everything was beautiful.

Make sure you visit Red Lantern

I really really loved our dinner at the Red Lantarn from Luke Nguyen! I watch his shows all the time on TV and cook many of his dishes from his cookbooks. I even bought a signed new one at the restaurant and love it!! The food is fresh, seasonal and presented in just a gorgeous way! We had only starters for our dinner so we could try as many as possible and we were so happy with our choices!! Wished I would live closer, so I could come more often. Now I just have to rely on my recipe book Songs of Sapa!

Lovely unpretentious setting, friendly and knowledgable staff and fantastic food. We had the Scallops and Swimmer crab for starters, followed by whole cooked Snapper and the Lobster tail with Lychee salad. Very generous servings and the flavours were so true to vietnam. Really enjoyed the cheeky Sav Blanc from NZ with the Red Lantern Label + the coffee and condensed milk cocktail. Intimate setting and great value for a celebrity chef's chez.

This is not top-notch despite all the publicity surrounding it. It is in fact in quite a humble surrounding (rumour has it there is a house of ill repute upstairs) and fairly ordinary. The food is good, extremely wide ranging and interesting, and the service is good. Perhaps a little overpriced. I recommend it but I wouldn't want to go too often.

For a restaurant that seems to have so much talk surrounding it, we found it to be good but not in any way exceptional. If it were not so hyped and less expensive, it would be a "find"; some really creative dishes, a nice atmosphere and very good service. But that's what you would expect, at minimum, for a restaurant that is more expensive and more difficult to get a seat at, than others of its genre. There was nothing we had that "knocked our socks off", nothing that we haven't had similar (not exact, but similar) elsewhere at a lesser cost and which was equally as good.

In short, a really nice place, great service, good food, enjoyable all around, but nowhere near its hype and certainly not what you would call a good value. Go at least once to say you've been there (and you will enjoy it, we certainly did) and then go to any of at least a dozen other similar restaurants in Sydney and save yourself some money.
